Core Values

Integrity

COD uses integrity to describe the foundational value that is the engine behind getting things done in our organization. It is the collective version of individual integrity where “I will do what I say I will do” becomes “We will do what we say we will do.”

Honesty

Honesty isn’t simply the best policy—it’s the only way to build a successful organization. A culture of honesty results in more than merely “happy” workplaces, and a deep-seated respect and expectation for honesty makes COD more successful and more profitable especially to the people of South Sudan.

Transparency and Accountability

COD has embarked on a transparency journey to enhance the comprehensiveness, quality and frequency of its financial and results data publications. This includes applying the data standards established by the UN for reporting financial data

Work Ethics

Workplace ethics are important because they keep all members of an organization accountable for their actions. Maintaining a strong, ethical code creates a sense of security through boundaries for COD Members / employees. It also enables management to make decisions that benefit COD as a whole while meeting the needs of people of South Sudan.

Teamwork and Collective Responsibility

In the effort to boost work productivity and improve work relationships, COD's dream is to create empowered teams as working units for their companies. In line with these efforts, task delegation and accountability become more diffused as teams are created within the organization. As a result, the lines of accountability may become more obscured.

Respect for Human Dignity

Respect for Human Dignity Human dignity captures the notion that every human being is uniquely valuable and therefore COD ought to accord the highest respect and care to the people of South Sudan

Building Partnerships for Success

We collaborate with dedicated partners to strengthen our organization and achieve shared goals, fostering a community of innovation and support.
